SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 702,132, dated June 10, 1902.,-

Application filed February 25, 190].. Serial No. 48,764. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT M. GREEN, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia,State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful` struction of the face-plates or doors of' the.

syru p-j ar openings,whereby lighter metal may be employed in the construction thereof and the sides of the plates are vastly strengthened and present smooth and uncut edges of any' desired thickness without appreciable increase in weight of the face-plate.V

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a face-plate or door embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a side elevation thereof, including adjacent portions of a common type of syrup-jar holder. Fig. 3 represents a horizontal section of a portion ony line @o so, Fig. 2. Figs. 4 and 5 represent perspective views of portions of modications.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the gures.

`Referring to the drawings, A designates a face-plate for closing a syrup jar or tank opening and to permit access thereto to said jar or tank, said face-plate being constructed of a piece B of metal or other suitable material, the sides C of which are folded in longitudi- `nal direction on themselves, the folds D being in front. By this construction said sides are duplex and reinforced and possess increased strength,.while admitting of the plate being made of lighter metal than heretofore, the folds also presenting a smooth and uncut edge and finish of any desired thickness-- double, triple, &c., accordingly as the metal is folded and refolded upon itself. The lower portions of the sides C have eyes E therein for the pintle or shaft F, whereby the faceplate is permitted to swing or tilt, as on a hinge or axis, said shaft being connected with the casing or frame of the apparatus in any suitable manner.

G designates a partition between the jarholders, the same being usually secured by the tenons H to the adjacent portions of the top bar J of the frame or casing and the bottom K thereof.

L designates a lling-piece, which is inl serted between the members of the duplex sides as additional stiffening or reinforcing and to increase the thickness of the edge shown without necessitating more than one .a face-plate or door for said opening with a side or edge thereof of two or more thicknesses of metal folded on themselves, and means for connecting the axis of said plate or door with the folded side.

2. In a soda-water apparatus,.having au opening to permit access to the syrup-tanks, a face-plate or door forsaid opening with the sides or edges thereof folded or `refolded on An edge of any desired thickness themselves, and means on said ,folded sides for supporting said plate or door on its axis. 3. In a soda-water apparatus having an opening to permit access to the syrup-tanks,

side or edge thereof of two or more thicknesses 'a face-plate or door for said opening with a l of metal folded on themselves, andan axis connected with the folded side.'

4. In a soda-water apparatus having an opening to permit access' to the syrup-tanks, a face-plate or door for said opening with a side or edge thereof folded on itself, and a filling-piece between the folds, and meansfor connecting the axis of said plate or door with the folded side.
